Hello everyone!
I recently started modfying Settings.apk to make it look like ICS following THIS GUIDE.
What I'm trying to do, though, is to add toggle buttons to the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options, just like ICS.
This code:
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/settings_label" android:key="parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/settings_ics_radio" />
<CheckBoxPreference android:persistent="false" android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_title" android:key="enable_wifi" android:summary="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_summary" />
Adds the button, but that said button does nothing.
What do I need to add in order to make it work?
Edit: I see from here that it might require smali editing, but I'm not too sure since that last guide was trying to add a toggle that didn't actually exist before, and I just want to add a button that already exists in another menu.
Thanks in advance.

i have a gitc_preferences.xml layout file in my res/layout/ folder. i am using IntelliJ 10.0.3 and i love it. the code completion in java and in xml is by and far the best ive used. but for some reason when i am making a PreferenceScreen it seems to choke.
lemme show a little stub of something...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<PreferenceCategory
android:title="first_cat">
<CheckBoxPreference
android:key="checkbox_preference"
android:title="title toggle preference"
android:summary="bleh" />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
now everything inside the <PreferenceScreen></PreferenceScreen> tag is red. it says "Element PreferenceCatagory is not allowed here" "Element CheckBoxPreference is not allowed here"
now it code completes to CheckBox but it turns red when i continue on to CheckBoxPreferences.
any help. it wont compile.
YAY! ive once again solved my own problem.
layouts of PreferenceScreen's cant be in res/layout/ they have to be in res/xml/

I am new to the android development. But i want to learn and i am trying.....I have Samsung galaxy tab 2 P3100 currently running CM10.....I rooted that myself and i can install different roms i.e. I can understand the instructions.... I want to edit an app called 7notes with mazec....the app looks like this when installed.....
1) The blue rectangle shows an app called Notebooks which is a note taking app...
2) The red rectangle shows the app i want to edit i.e. 7notes with mazec which is an input method....
I am a right handed guy....i want to edit the app so that it will be convenient for me to use....I want the app to look like this.....
Is there any way i can edit the app like that....i can provide the .apk file....

It "should" be as simple as editing the res/layout to the values you want. I say "should" because I've never done more than a center clock mod in respect to moving placement of items. Hopefully someone can either verify this, or send you on the right path :thumbup:

Here is a link for the .apk file...... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xnm0f7qax191raw/KZRRuJSsh-
I found the layout folder already.....i think the related xml code is in the /res/layout/keyboard_handwriting.xml file.... am i correct?
i dnt know anything about the xml.....mean while, i will try to find out how to relocate the layout for the buttons.....
Can you send me the original and the edited xml file of the mod you did abt the center clock? maybe this mod is on the similar lines.....That will help me understand the modifications in this app.....

Yes, it appears to be that file. The xml's arent difficult to edit as long as you know what you're looking for, and know what terminology to use.
Code:
[SIZE="1"] <ImageView android:id="@id/delete_backward" android:paddingTop="@dimen/bottom_bar_padding_top" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/bottom_bar_padding_bottom" android:layout_width="@dimen/img_w_menubar_button" android:layout_height="@dimen/img_h_menubar_button" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_marginRight[/COLOR]="@dimen/bottom_bar_btn_margin" android:src="@drawable/backspace" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/new_line" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_alignBottom[/COLOR]="@id/menu" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/delete_stroke" android:paddingTop="@dimen/bottom_bar_padding_top" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/bottom_bar_padding_bottom" android:layout_width="@dimen/img_w_menubar_button" android:layout_height="@dimen/img_h_menubar_button"[COLOR="Red"] android:layout_marginRight[/COLOR]="@dimen/bottom_bar_btn_margin" android:src="@drawable/delete_stroke_n" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_toLeftOf[/COLOR]="@id/new_line" [COLOR="red"]android:layout_alignBottom[/COLOR]="@id/menu" />
[/SIZE]
The code selected in red, is what you would to change, however, I'm not entirely sure what to change them to. I would try to find an app that already has something setup like you want this to be and look at the layout of those buttons.
The center clock mod I found using this guide only edited one line, like this
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" [COLOR="red"]android:gravity="left|center"[/COLOR] android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
and changed it to this
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" [COLOR="Blue"]android:gravity="center"[/COLOR] android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
again, the code in red is the original, and code in blue is edited.
You could try something to the effect of
Code:
<ImageView android:id="@id/delete_stroke" android:paddingTop="@dimen/bottom_bar_padding_top" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/bottom_bar_padding_bottom" android:layout_width="@dimen/img_w_menubar_button" android:layout_height="@dimen/img_h_menubar_button[COLOR="Blue"]android:layout_marginLeft[/COLOR]="@dimen/bottom_bar_btn_margin" android:src="@drawable/delete_stroke_n" [COLOR="Blue"]android:layout_alignBottom[/COLOR]="@id/new_line" [COLOR="red"]android:layout_alignBottom[/COLOR]="@id/menu" />
Obviously, I dont know if this will work or not, but you can try it. Just make sure you keep your original apk so you can replace it if you need to:good:

Good luck to you, like I said, I wasn't sure that would work, but it should give you some idea of what you're looking for:beer:

Hello!
I'm using a Galaxy Tab 2 (p5110) and building off CM 10.1.
I've successfully edited the settings app to display a bunch of menus. Reference: imgur.com/bsvM3RP
My XML file that holds the preferences looks like this:
Code:
<PreferenceScreen>
<PreferenceCategory
android:title="@string/sip_phone_setting">
<EditTextPreference
android:key="sip_extension_number"
android:title="@string/extension_number"
android:digits="0123456789"/>
<EditTextPreference
android:key="sip_server_host"
android:title="@string/server_host"
android:digits=".0123456789"/>
</PreferenceCategory>
<PreferenceCategory
android:title="@string/sip_credentials_setting">
<EditTextPreference
android:key="sip_credential_username"
android:title="@string/sip_username"/>
<EditTextPreference
android:key="sip_credentials_password"
android:title="@string/sip_password"/>
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
What I'd like to be able to do is access one of the keys from an outside application. Any ideas on how I may achieve that?

Add jellybean like Wi-Fi & Bluetooth ON/OFF switch in title_bar.
This is a cool guide to add Wi-Fi or Bluetooth switch in titlebar as you can see in jellybean.
This mod work will on any gingerbread running phone.
Things you need:-
Apktool/Apk-Multitool
Notepad++
Basic knowledge about compiling & decompiling.
Basic knowledge about xml editing & modding.
Settings.apk from your rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Lets start:-
Step-1
First of all decompile your settings.apk
Step-2
Now download this
and extract it.
Open & copy the "res" and paste it in your decompiled "settings" folder
Step-3
Now goto settings/res/xml and open wifi_settings.xml
Here you will see a line like that:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:persistent="false" android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_title" android:key="enable_wifi" android:summary="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_summary" />
Step-4
Add this android:layout="@layout/sachin_wifi_switch" Now it will look like this:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:persistent="false" [COLOR="red"]android:layout="@layout/sachin_wifi_switch"[/COLOR] android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_title" android:key="enable_wifi" android:summary="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_summary" />
now save and close it.
Step-5
Now open bluetooth_settings.xml
and find this:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/bluetooth" android:key="bt_checkbox" android:summary="@string/bluetooth_quick_toggle_summary" />
Step-6
Here add this android:layout="@layout/sachin_bt_switch"
and now it will look like this:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference [COLOR="red"]android:layout="@layout/sachin_bt_switch"[/COLOR] android:title="@string/bluetooth" android:key="bt_checkbox" android:summary="@string/bluetooth_quick_toggle_summary" />
save and close it.
Step-7
Now open AndroidManifest.xml in "Settings" folder.
Here find this:
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/wifi_settings" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_wifi_settings" android:name=".wifi.WifiSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
Step-8
After "activity" add this android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
like this:
Code:
<activity [COLOR="red"]android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"[/COLOR] android:label="@string/wifi_settings" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_wifi_settings" android:name=".wifi.WifiSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
now find this:
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/bluetooth_settings_title" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_bluetooth_settings" android:name=".bluetooth.BluetoothSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
similarly do here, add android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" after "activity".
like this:
Code:
<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:label="@string/bluetooth_settings_title" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_bluetooth_settings" android:name=".bluetooth.BluetoothSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
save and close it.
and you are done with modding.
Now compile & Sign the new Settings.apk
and push it to system/app and change the permission to rw-r-r
Enjoy! Press THANKS if you like it
